Description:
A folk triumph years in the making, The Bane of Progress is a quiet, reflective, stirring album with all the right touches. Bolstered by a cast of ringers including members of The Decemberists and Norfolk & Western, these smoldering, literate ballads are evocative-human, forlorn, and searching are all apt descriptions. But theres a silver lining to these cloudy songs, and Jeff London charms listeners with his classic melodies and earnest tenor. (Hush Records)
